the reports from pc expo are starting to come in. first off, palminfocenter has its take on what was worth noting from the show. there are a number of cool gadgets featured, including a card that lets you navigate maps and games on the palm by tilting the palm in various directions (the itsy has been doing that for a while), a gsm sled for the m500 series that lets you connect your palm wirelessly to the gsm network, and more. the report is packed with some great pics, too. not to be left out, pdabuzz has a couple of updates (update 1 and update 2) worth talking about. in addition, the second update features “the official wes faq,” which is pretty amusing. last but not least, smaller.com has a great article that talks about the lack of gadgets at the show. the article starts with the keynote and goes on from that point. all of the linked articles are definitely worth the read. also, keep your eyes out for a full report from pdabuzz once wes returns to his secret hideout. in general, it sounds like this year's conference was not what it was rumored to be. i had heard that psion was going to be showing off its new handheld under nda behind the scenes. no word yet on whether or not that actually happened.

still….stinger(10:47am est thu jun 28 2001)i went to the show yesterday and i agree it was underwhelming and mostly gadgetless. however, i did go to the msft “show” and saw the stinger demo and man, it was cool as hell. the crowd didn't seem to be blown away by the technology, but compared to what's out there, it's a no brainer, especially if you've got an exchange server at the office. – by andrew
